The Secret is Out

"Mama, are you a famous quilt writer person?" So asked The Monster at dinner tonight.

"To some people," she then added.

Sigh.

Well, maybe...

My next book is coming out this summer! It doesn't come out until August, but the monolith that is Amazon has it available for pre-order. A Month of Sundays focuses on my obsession with low-volume fabrics. It includes quilts and more, so much more. It demonstrates the trust my publisher, Stash Books, had in me to include more writing than your standard quilt book. It includes the phenomenal photography of Kate Inglis. It celebrates the joy of the lazy Sunday, from sleeping in under a glorious quilt to shopping for flowers to dessert at Sunday dinner.

I am beyond excited to share this book with you. It's been an intense experience, coming on the heels of Sunday Morning Quilts, and written in conjunction with the pregnancy and birth of my baby boy.

I can't wait for you to see it all.

In other book news, Sunday Morning Quilts has been nominated for a 2013 Golden Quilter Award. How cool is that? I'm not a fan of shilling for votes, but if you've got a minute we'd love yours. Check out the other awards too, it is a veritable who's who of quilting. Thank-you to our anonymous nominee. And thank-you, faithful readers and supporters.

aww, kids have good perspective on some things. congrats on your new book! i'm always looking to read something different and i'm sure you're doing something meaningful. your last book was a breath of fresh air.

Congratulations! I figured there would be food from your tweets when Kate was visiting, but knowing there are quilts too is even better! I love reading books about food in a narrative context and look forward to more good quilt writing as well.

This looks totally beautiful! I can't wait to read the book. I know, the Amazon machine is a scary beast. I remember seeing my book up there -- cover and all -- before the final drafts were in. But it's all about staking your turf, which is a good thing too. Congrats again. Jenn

woohooo!!! the cover is AMAZING! I am totally enticed. The cover for Sunday Morning Quilts has been one of my faves, and this one gives it a run for it's money. Can't wait to drool through the rest! Much much congrats!

SO excited for another low volume book ; ) thanks so much for all your hard work so soon after the first book.Looking forward to summer! The owner of our local quilt shoppe has already been put on high alert! We need that book!
